"That would be accurate," Floyd said Thursday when asked if Campbell was leaving. "We knew when we signed eight freshmen that all of them would want to play. D'Von, I love the kid, has decided to leave and I wish him the best. I still believe in his ability to play Division 1 basketball."

In a first tweet, Campbell said, "I had a lot of fun in EP. The fans, coaches and my teammates showed me a good time." And, in another tweet, Campbell said, "I've gotten better as a player and person here. But it's time for me to move on. I want to thank you all for everything."

Campbell, a 6-foot guard from Arlington, Texas, played in 23 of UTEP's 32 games this season, starting four of those games and averaging 11.5 minutes per game. He averaged 2.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.
